Exhibition-Melissa Burley: Existence

Monday, October 9, 2017

The illuminated sculptures by local artist Melissa Burley strive to investigate the concept of "beauty after death." Incorporating natural, man-made and recycled materials, Burley creates beautiful and complex, machine-inspired compositions bathed in light that seek to highlight and call attention to our role in the preservation of Earth.

Burley lures the viewer by creating a wide pattern of shadows on the surrounding wall and floor surfaces, and incorporating a strong light source and combining and arranging discarded artifacts that ordinarily would end up in a landfill.
